If we throw away money like that we'll be on 500 million net spend at the end of the summer.
It seems like we had done our home work much earlier as far our transfer target is concern,Lindelof,Griezmann,B.Silva.We had been linked with these players for long time now.Woody had learned his lesson from his first season in charge,not going to drag these longer.
We don't buy Lindelof.
He is the type of CB who would fit perfectly next to Bailly and he is at the ideal age but, I do not trust anything linking us to Benfica players.
We get liked to their players like mad but have we ever bought a player from them?
90m plus for a CB and GK from benfica and people are saying we are mad for trying to sign keane for 25m
Hope it's bullshit.
No idea how good any of them are, but I don't want De Gea gone, so no thanks to a gk.

Would it be wise having a centre back pairing of 23 and 22 years old? I'm sure Jose knows what he's doing but you usually have at least one of them a more experienced head.
We just aren't spending that money on 2 Benfica players 
It's their press doing the usual BS.
Mourinho has already said Pereira will be the best Portuguese Gk of his generation, why would he then go and buy him?

If the Portuguese press told me that the sky is blue, water is wet and food is an important part of your diet I'd question it.

Ederson is Brazilian
Ah OK well that sort of ruins it then, but I still can't see it TBH.
Terry and Carvalho were not much older when they became a CB pairing.
I am not saying that this rumours are true.All I am saying is that I'll be surprised if Mou replaced DDG with Periera
Yeah I don't think Pereira would be first in line either, but I think he would put his faith in Romero.
the two transfers would make sense, Lindelöf is a CB and Ederson a GK, that could replace De Gea. But the Portuguese papers are a shambles.
You are. Your two players wouldnt be Lindelöf and Ederson, but Marquinhos and Donnarumma.
Exactly and I think people would prefer my choices for that amount of money.
Not too sure on Donna - haven't seen enough of him to make a judgement on the kid.
Of course they are the better choices, but they are not for sale. Marquinhos uses us and Barca every summer anyway.
I just can't see this happening. I don't trust any links to Benfica players and I can't see us spending the sort of money they'd want for Lindelof, on Lindelof.
Well can't argue with that tbh.
Spot on
The new Gaitan. I don't believe any story linking us with a Benfica player. Seems they are always not true.
They are only posting what the Portuguese press (who we all know are unreliable) say, don't shoot the messenger *shrug*
Anyway, I totally believe this deal is back on, I bet he has a double medical with Gaitán
They are quite good actually.
Carvalho was the experienced one there, he was 26 and just coming off winning the champions league. Jose knew his game inside out. Bailly and Lindelof could certainly work but having concerns about their experience is a legitimate concern. i certainly think whomever we bring in, regardless of their age, they will have to have a more organisned and leader type role to compliment Bailly.
Is Ederson even any good? How does he compare to Romero? Doubt Romero would want to be backup to a Brazilian.
I'd prefer to get it from the source rather than some aggregator site that is getting free advertising when people post their tweets here.
This guy is what our back line needs. From what I've seen of him, He's an excellent defender. He's as good on the ball as a center back can be and reads the game well.
They did both have a fair bit more experience tbf. Carvalho was 26 and had won it all with Porto, while Terry at 24 had played nearly 200 senior games for Chelsea. Granted Bailly and Lindelof are both internationals but I think it's a valid concern.
Two fantastic players. Whoever ends up buying them secures 2 young talents for years to come
Ederson is the best GK I've ever seen at Benfica, even more so than Oblak
Lindelof is definitely one of the best CB's too, maybe the most complete

Every site gets free advertising when people post their tweets here. More than half of them aggregate themselves too.
The difference is reputable tweets come from actual football journalists, not aggregator sites. They deserve the free advertising, whereas sites that just post tweets that others gather are just stealing their content from elsewhere.
I see nothing wrong with them. It's one of the better sites.
Fair point. Tho as someone who doesn't speak Portguese, Spanish etc I think they provide a useful service.
Agreed, in such circumstances they are indeed helpful.
It's clutching at straws a bit to use a bogus story to justify another transfer
